Even if you've never had a hamster for a pet, you've witnessed the spectacle of them running in a hamster wheel. They step inside a giant wheel in the center of their captivity and run, and run, and run. It's so adorable when they do it. But what if I could tell you we have human hamster wheels, in the center of our captivity, and we run, and run, and run? They aren't literal wheels, but they serve the same purpose: keep us distracted from the reality that we aren't where we want to be, not doing the work that matters to us, and somewhere along the way, we took a wrong turn. It's never been easier to numb out and just keep running, but one day, the call will come from inside the house, it's time to answer the call, step off the wheel, and jack in to life.
